Who WE ARE
Founded in 1991, LAAAWPAC is the first African American women’s political action committee formed in the state of California.
As a political action committee, we support progressive pro-choice, pro-LGBT, and pro-progressive issue candidates–both women and men who are committed to the causes important to Black women.
LAAAWPAC has raised and donated over $1M to local, state, and federal candidates.
In addition, we educate voters, endorse candidates, and mobilize volunteers so LAAAWPAC-backed campaigns win!
